The Franklin Democrat, Friday, April 6, 1900, Volume XL, Number 40, page 1, column 3
Mrs. Sarah May was instantly killed at Columbus, one night last week, by coming in
contact with a live electric 
wire.  The accident occurred about 7:30 in the evening when Mrs. May had carried a
bucket of water into the 
back yard, stepping upon the wire.  It seems that during the day her two little
grandsons had been on the roof 
and accidentally knocked off a dead telephone wire, which fell across an electric
wire with one end resting on 
the ground.
